For 20 years, organisations have focused on automating their business processesand deploying traditional business intelligence (BI) tools to access their data, toreport on performance and get the information they need to make proper businessdecisions.
Sadly, many of these traditional tools fail to deliver because they are cumbersome,time-consuming to set up and maintain and too difficult to master for average users.QlikView breaks the mould by offering a truly user-friendly report generation toolthat’s easy to install and comes at a fraction of the cost of other BI solutions.

The ProductUsing QlikView Using QlikView couldn't be simpler. If youwant to build a set of reports, known as anapplication, then you need a User licence.
An application is a series of views of a singleset of data – examples would be a salesapplication or an accounting application.
Users can build any number of applicationsand have access to them all, any time theywish.
For more limited use there is the concept ofa Document Viewer licence. This licenceallows a user to have access to a singleapplication.
What that means is, should the same userneed access to more than one application,then that user would need more than oneDocument licence.
